Big Trump donors converge on Newsom recall

Big Republican donors — including some prominent backers of former President Donald Trump — are zeroing in on a new target as they dig out from the wreckage of the 2020 election: California Gov. Gavin Newsom.

Major GOP benefactors are funneling cash into the effort to recall the first-term Democratic governor, who’s come under fire for his handling of the coronavirus pandemic and his oversight of the state’s battered economy.

The two groups leading the recall push say they have raised a combined $3.2 million and expect to surpass $3.5 million by this weekend.

Some of the biggest donors to the recall effort also bankrolled Trump’s 2020 campaign. They include Beverly Hills real estate developer Geoff Palmer, who has shelled out $150,000 to the anti-Newsom campaign, and Silicon Valley venture capitalist Douglas Leone who, with his wife Patricia Perkins-Leone, have given nearly $100,000. Retired construction equipment executive Howard Groff and his wife Susan Groff have doled out $75,000.

Everything a conservative does successfully is because of BIG_____ or fsr right. I wonder what the headline writing training manual is like. It’s amazing how consistent they all are.

The wife and I printed out and signed and mailed the recall petition. Even if we get another dem/soc/comm in, it’s the end of Newsom’s WH ambitions. Heard anything from Gov. Davis since we recalled him? We voted for McClintock, but Ahnolds cult of personality won.

The funny thing is they desperately need a real conservative to bring their economy back.

I remember when we recalled Davis, and got democrat lite, Arnold. I hope it really does put an end to gruesome’s political career.

My wife and I were donor just donors.

Today, we signed the petition, and a woman in the store heard me mention the lack of jobs for women after losing them because of the the Covid virus. She challenged me and I told her to good my statement. She did and said, “Damn!”.

She signed the petition. I challenged her to tell more women about women losing jobs and not being hired.


The December 2020 Bureau of Labor Statistics report had more bad news for women: all of the jobs lost were women’s jobs:

The December 2020 Bureau of Labor Statistics report had more bad news for women: all of the jobs lost were women’s jobs. Specifically, that December report revealed that while men gained 16,000 jobs, women lost 156,000 jobs.
